Course Purpose:

The purpose of this course is to demonstrate various ways to use simple technology (e.g. PowerPoint, QR Codes) that can be integrated into your PE classes. Detailed instructions on how to create technology integrated lessons will be provided.

Course Description:

This course is designed to teach the student how to create various Power Point presentations that can be used to teach several skills in their PE lessons. The student will learn to create a presentation that can project an obstacle course on a rock wall. The student will learn to create a Power Point presentation that provides two ways for students to practice throwing toward virtual targets on the wall. The student will also learn how to create a Power Point Presentation where students can participate in a Shadow Dodging activity. Finally, the student will learn how to create QR codes using exercise videos created by themselves or found online. The course also includes a bonus session which will give the participant an overview on creating a Power Point presentation where students will participate in a Virtual Simon activity. Students will view an introduction session, 4 presentations, review notes for each presentation, and then complete 4 assignments, one for each presentation topic.

Testimonials

Bruce B.

PE Teacher

"My students really enjoyed using the shadow dodging and throwing targets. This course has allowed me to feel much more confident and comfortable in using my computer and projector in new and meaningful ways that are high-interest to my students. I plan to bring the projector out several times next year and use it during fitness work, skill work and obstacle courses."

Allison M.

PE Teacher

"I always wanted to learn more about more technology that I could use in my class, but never knew what to do. This class has helped give me so many ideas about using power point and QR codes in the class."

Kyle J.

PE Teacher

"Technology is a huge component at my school. Integrating any tech in PE class will be not only fun but also supported by administrators. Tech/Games always keep my students engaged."

Michael H.

PE Teacher

"I have wanted to integrate more technology into my class and I believe this course has opened my eyes to so many ways to motivate my students while having fun! Technology integration has always been a challenge mainly because I did not know what to do or how to use it."

Jean G.

PE Teacher

"I am very excited to use every bit of what I have learned in this course. I already use a lot of station activities in my gym but this will save on time setting up, taking down equipment and it will provide the students with exciting new activities. Plus, I am trying to get our district to incorporate more technology into the gym so using technology and showing administrators how engaged the students are should help my cause!
